The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Tang Dynasty has never had the habit of paying fees to visiting missions from other countries, so the envoy group of as many as 100 people paid for the hotel out of his own pocket. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoLos Angeles is now a thriving hotel industry, and the state guesthouse is equivalent to a five-star hotel, but the fee is higher than that of a five-star hotel. After weighing it, Tanuma Yiji found that if he paid for the mission of hundreds of people to live in the state guesthouse, there would basically be no money left. However, if they did not live in the state guesthouse, it would be informal, and they would lose face for the shogunate and Japan, and in the end, it was decided that only seven high-ranking shogunate officials in the mission would stay in the state guesthouse, and the others would stay in an express hotel closest to the state guesthouse......

Before checking in, the Japanese translator also explained to Tanuma Yoshiji with a serious face: "Please Mr. Tanuma must restrain the members of the mission, do not disturb the local residents, do not harass the service staff of the hotel, all the people of Datang have no distinction between high and low, everyone is equal, so please don't let your samurai take a posture of a lord or a superior person, and dictate or have a bad attitude towards the service staff of our hotel, let alone ask for any ****** from the female service staff. Otherwise, we will take the responsible person seriously. ”

Tanuma Yiji nodded and bowed again and again: "Hey, remember it below, I will never let them do anything embarrassing." ”

The Japanese interpreter continued: "All kinds of supplies in the hotel are provided for guests, and it is forbidden to steal any property. ”

Tanuma Yoshiji still assured, but he was a little dissatisfied in his heart, and the translator explained that he was obviously not optimistic about the moral level of the Japanese. Treat them like thieves. But Tanuma Yoshiji is really worried. Some guys who can't control themselves. Maybe something will actually go along with it.

When he himself stayed in the state guesthouse, Tanuma Yiji was already shocked. He didn't live in a suite of the highest standard, just a business-level standard, but it was already spacious and elegantly decorated. Dozens of lamps are installed on the ceiling, all in different shapes, which when turned on, illuminate the entire room. The carpets, wallpaper, and sheets were all extremely intricate and delicate patterns that he reached out to touch. I feel that the feel of the fabric is so great that it is like a girl's muscles and abdomen. The oversized bed was so soft and comfortable that you almost didn't want to get up when you lay down.

The translator pointed to a retro telephone on the bedside table and said, "You can use this to contact the hotel, and you can ask them if you have any needs, but there should be no Japanese service in the hotel, so you can call me, you have memorized the Arabic numerals, and you can contact me by dialing this number." ”

"I'm sorry to translate it." Tanuma Yiji thought that translation was an official position, so he has always been "honored" like this.

That evening, Yoshiji Tanuma was again in the restaurant of the State Guesthouse. Had a very hearty dinner. Even at the diplomatic level, the dinner was not attended by a single Tang official. It is equal to no rank, but Tanuma Yiji is still shocked, the Tang people are so rich in materials, and the food provided in this hotel is definitely more than the general's daily diet. Of course, in fact, the Japanese generals eat and dress simply every day, so they are not luxurious, but even if they are luxurious, they cannot compare with the Tang people.

Tanuma Yoshiji was surprised to find that Japanese cuisine was also available in the buffet area, and he pointed to the food over there: "That's sushi?" ”

The interpreter nodded, "Yes, the buffet at the State Guesthouse offers more than ten kinds of sushi rolls, as well as foods like teriyaki, tempura, and ramen." ”

Sushi rolls also originated in China in the strict sense, and the popular signature dish in the Northern Song Dynasty is considered to be the predecessor of sushi, and the so-called signature is the bamboo curtain used to make sushi. Tanuma Yoshiji is not a foodie, so he certainly doesn't know the exact origin of sushi, but he was surprised that Japanese food could be prepared at the Karachi Hotel.

Gastronomy is always progressing with the development of human civilization, and new foods are constantly being developed. The Japanese dishes that Tanuma Yoshiji saw were actually not traditional Japanese dishes. Many Americans are not used to eating raw sashimi, so Japanese chefs who immigrated to the United States replaced it with avocado with something similar in taste, and finally made California rolls that surpassed the influence of all Japanese sushi rolls in the future.

Tanuma Yiji tasted several sushi rolls from the Tang chefs, and then had to marvel that it was a popular meal in Japan, but the Tang people did it better. Of course, he is not surprised that ordinary Japanese people can't add too many ingredients to sushi, and Japan itself lacks ingredients, and the common thing is nothing more than seafood. However, the Tang people have a large number of ingredients that can be added to it, creating more flavors.

Tanuma kept his stomach and ate some of everything. In fact, in this cafeteria, there is food from different countries. Comparing Western-style steaks and salads, the various cooking dishes in the Chinese buffet, falafel from the Middle East, curry from India, seafood soup from Malaysia, and tortillas from Mexico are all dishes that have been brought to the plane by the many people who have traveled through the world, and the Japanese people are almost dazzled.

After learning that self-help means taking it yourself, and that it means eating openly, even the shogunate officials who live in the state guesthouse are relatively high-status, and they all eat it in a big way. In the end, it was the hotel staff who reminded them that they would be fined for waste, and they ended up stuffing all the food they had taken into their stomachs. That night, three people were sent to the hospital for overeating, which made Tanuma Yiji helpless.

Back in his hotel room, Tanuma Yoshiji spread out his notes again and wrote, "...... Today, I feel that to measure the strength of a country and the prosperity of civilization, it is enough to judge it from the dining table alone. Japan has a history of 3,000 years, standing proudly in the extreme east, elegant and faithful, but in terms of food, it is not as good as the Tang people. What kind of country can create so many dishes? It is not difficult to think about it, it is tantamount to the people's diet, there is no need to be confused about the warmth, and there is peace and happiness, there is spare energy and the delicious delicacies, the country is rich in all things, and it is desirable. On the other hand, Japan is small and lacking in things, and the only thing that is abundant is seafood, and it is impossible to create tens of thousands of dishes. There is also a reason that the Tang people's sea ships traveled all over the world, visited the people of the world, learned their cuisine, and used them for their own use. Whether it is the former or the latter, it is a proof of the strength of its country! (To be continued.) )
